Henry started #babyledweaning when he turned 6 months old — and in 2 months he’s already tried over 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ foods! 🎉 Like many ‘baby led weaners’, we had a goal of #100foodsbeforeone — but I can’t believe how quick and simple that was to reach. While starting solids absolutely started off more difficult than I expected and there were days I questioned if we should switch to purées — after about 2 weeks of practice (and me learning to sit on my hands 😅), something clicked for him and we never looked back! ———— Some of Henry’s favorite foods are wild caught salmon🐟, spaghetti squash🍝, strawberries🍓, jackfruit, sweet potatoes🍠 , beets, feta cheese, pear🍐, asparagus and eggplant 🍆 — but due to his eczema/allergies, we haven’t taken a single thing he’s successfully eaten for granted! So far we know he is allergic to peanuts🥜, kiwi🥝, melon🍈, sesame (hummus), raw tomatoes🍅 — and he’s “sensitive” to a handful of others. It’s our hope and prayer that Henry will always love to eat a variety of foods, he will outgrow some of his allergies, and that we will create years of memories around the dinner table with him. If you’re at all interested in trying Baby Led Weaning — I highly recommend it! 🤗

We couldn’t love you more, @billyfine! Happy Veterans Day Weekend! 🇺🇸

8️⃣ months of Henry! ✨ In the last month he got his first black eye 🤕, his first cold 🤧, his first teeth 🦷, and said his first word — “Mama”! 💁🏼‍♀️😭 He learned to copy people clapping 👏🏼 and waving 👋🏼, tried 60 new foods 🍽, and as a couple of days ago — started to army crawl! 😳 His hair gets longer and lighter by the day 👦🏼 — but sadly that’s usually hard to tell due to the amount of ‘product’ we have to keep on his scalp🧴. His poor head still itches more days than not 🙆🏼‍♂️ — but his eczema has overall improved so much in the last month and we could. not. be. more. thankful! 🙌🏼

Guess who hired their first paid babysitter and went on a date last night?! 👫🙌🏼🥳 Get this: William and I went to a fancy dinner and talked using our normal voices the entire time — AND then afterward we got to play a game that didn’t involve making silly faces while hiding behind our hands! 🙈🤪 I learned that he no longer plans on being completely outnumbered by our children, he learned to never let me be the one to teach Henry how to hit a golf ball 😅, and we both learned that we absolutely need to make this a reoccurring thing 🤗. ———— (Shout out to sweet @callyholcombe for taking the best care of our boy ❤️)

Who needs candy when you can have pretzels and beer?! 🥨🍺🇩🇪🎃

You know the kind of family that you just can’t help but want to be around? And the kind of kids that you hope yours will turn out even half as wonderful as? That’s the Hubbard’s. ✨ Our paths crossed in Germany and we haven’t let them out of our reach ever since 😜. We had the best long weekend getting to show our favorite family of 5 around our new corner of the world — and in true Hubbard fashion, they left us, our home, our bellies, and our hearts better than they found them. Poor Henry was so sad this morning when he realized his buddies were no longer here to play 💔. We love you @lifebyandie and @daniel.jay.hubbard — thanks for letting us be obsessed... I mean friends* with you! 😆
